Building Recertification
40 Year Inspection Overview
We arrive at the site, conduct our 40 Year Inspection and a typewritten report is
produced specifically for your building, based upon the results of our
inspection. The report format and content is strictly specified by the
municipality, so theoretically all reports will be the same. This is where
many clients assume that “since all reports are the same, what difference
does the inspector make?” However, we know that some inspections are simply
handwriting out their reports on-site. This crude solution is offered as
a “benefit” to you, by saying that you get your report instantly, with no waiting.
Really;
- Just how can anyone produce all the required photo documentation on-site?
- Further, if there is any parking at the building, a “parking lot lighting” portion of the report must be completed. We do this the right way by actually measuring the parking lot lighting, at night, in accordance with the requirements.
Additionally, many municipalities are now re-inspecting the building again … after … your engineers have submitted their Recertification Report. Why? Well the party line might be to verify that your engineer did a thorough job, but it may be another attempt to generate additional fees, by assessing “late filing fees” if your report needs to be amended or modified from the original submittal.
Don’t take chances with unknown inspectors.
